Mara loves to eat all by herself and usually gets fairly messy. But this one takes the cake!! I gave her a little pudding snack, and went about eating my own food and talking with my mom. Mara said to me "Hee go" which means "Here you go". So I turned around and found this face looking back at me!! It was the funniest thing! I love that kids can get so super messy and not realize that they have food all over their faces!!

On Saturday Xander helped my mom and I put christmas lights in the garden. Pat was such a great son in-law and put up the christmas lights on the house 2 weeks ago, but ran out of lights to do the garden. While cleaning the garage, my mom found a bag of lights so we did the rest! Xander was helping us hammer in some posts in the grass so we could string lights along the curbing. He had to go around hammering everything that he could find. Luckly it wasn't summer, or else all the bugs would have been in for it!!

Here is Mara and cousin Sawyer. Isn't Sawyer the sweetest thing! I am so jealous that she has red hair! Seeing my brother have a red headed child gives me hope that maybe I too could have one, someday!
